Went to the local socialist party meeting and outright called them out on this.

Didn't have to accuse anyone, people were pretty open about their lifestyles, ages, what they do with their time etc and clearly there weren't many people in the room who were working full time, if at all. Exactly the reason I brought it up.

Didn't attack anyone, simply made the observation that a whole bunch of the things they want could be purchased outright between them if they bulk purchased it, asked if the bunch of them had the means to pay for them (no response) and then made a point that the only way these services could be paid for so they could use them is if a bunch of people outside the room who weren't socialists paid it instead..

Wasn't chased out with pitchforks or anything, haha, but clear acknowledgement that I probably wasn't planning on signing up anytime soon.

Was the name of this place Walmart or Lowes or Amazon?

Just about everything in the USA is subsidized to some degree. Except blow jobs.

Don't like it? Don't subscribe to it.
Research actual prices (ie, gas in Europe, which is double or more ours) and pay that.
Don't call cops. Skip the fire dept. Medical care? The hell with gov't, job, insurance coverage, they're responsible for burgeoning cost. Pretend your next medical procedure is the iPad 28, and you're saving to buy that for mega bucks on the 1st day.
Burn fat and dung of the animals you've raised oil for heat and cooking.
Wells, septic tanks, dig away. Make your own concrete and sidewalks, pave your own roads.

And will you shut off your damn device. From the subsidized petroleum products, metals, tax deductions to corporations, transport on publicly built and maintained infrastructure..... You see how this works?

Skip this Commie bullshit.
Skip Uncle Sam's teat.
Prove Obama wrong. Do it yourself.

DIY all the way.
